It’s hard to imagine this being anything but a very, very bad thing. Variety is reporting that MTV is readying a remake of the 1975 cult classic, The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Lou Adler, the executive produce of the original film, is partnering with BermanBraun and Fox Television Studios on the two-hour remake. They say that the film will use the original screenplay by Jim Sharman and Richard O’Brien but may also include music not featured in the original. “I’d like to see it shown a year from this coming Halloween, but that’s up to MTV,” Adler said. At least Adler is involved. Then again, why make a new movie if all you’re doing is remaking it?
